I am not sure I understand the learning objectives in this workshop.

Is it to practice arrays?
working with loops?
something else?

where is this supposed to go in the curriculum?

I am going to tag Naomi to review this 👍🏾

@sebacodes

Are there answers for my questions here?

Hey @sebacodes! Thanks for your patience on this one — I've been reviewing everything and I owe you some clarity. 🙂

After looking at where this workshop sits in the curriculum, I realised the original user stories were asking for map, reduce, some, and every — but those methods aren't taught until later. This workshop is the first hands-on practice after the "Working with Common Array Methods" lecture, which covers indexOf, splice, includes, concat, slice, and spread. So I've revised the scope to match.

The new user stories are:

• getWindow(burst, start, windowSize) — uses slice to extract a window of readings from a burst (this is actually a cleaner approach to windowed analysis than the sliding window loop, and fits the curriculum perfectly!)
• detectSilence(burst) — uses includes to check if a burst contains any zero reading
• findReading(burst, value) — uses indexOf to locate a specific reading, returning -1 if not found
• replaceFaultyReading(burst, index, newValue) — uses splice to replace a reading (pair this with spread to create a copy first, keeping with the no-mutation rule)
• mergeSensorData(dataset1, dataset2) — uses concat to combine two datasets

Your confusion about the approach makes complete sense given the original spec wasn't aligned with the curriculum — that was on me, not you. The good news is the rework is fairly focused: swap out the existing functions for these five, each built around one of the lecture methods.

Happy to answer any questions in Discord!
